Published: July 2021

The GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) in the kidney is expressed exclusively in vascular smooth muscle cells in arteries and arterioles. Downstream effects of the activation of the renal vascular GLP-1R are elusive but may involve regulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). The expression of in the mouse renal vasculature was investigated by in situ hybridization after a single subcutaneous dose of liraglutide, semaglutide and after repeated injections of liraglutide. Single and repeated exposure to GLP-1R agonists induced expression of in the renal vascular smooth muscle cell compartment compared with vehicle injected controls ( < .0001) for both semaglutide and liraglutide. The present data show a robust induction of expression in the vascular smooth muscle cells of the kidney after single and repeated GLP-1R activation and this renin recruitment may be involved in the effects of GLP-1R agonist treatment on kidney disease.

A Case of Thrombotic Microangiopathy Secondary to Hypertensive Emergency: Presentation, Management, and Distinguishing Features.

Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) are a group of conditions that present with varying degrees of microthrombi, thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, renal dysfunction, and neurological impairment. Etiologies can be primary, such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), or secondary, such as due to systemic infections, malignancies, immune-mediated conditions, and hypertensive emergencies. In hypertensive emergencies, this presentation can occur from mechanical stress placed on red blood cells as they pass through narrowed arteries due to edema and microangiopathic changes within the vessels themselves.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is associated with vascular complications, including stenosis or the occlusion of the abdominal aorta and renal arteries. However, reports on the occurrence of extracranial vertebral artery aneurysms are scarce. A man in his 40s had back pain and was feeling unwell.

Objective: This study offers a retrospective assessment of a single-center experience using cerebrospinal fluid catheters to reduce the risk of perioperative spinal cord injury in patients undergoing single-staged complex endovascular juxtarenal or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Results: A total of 97 patients were included. On average, 70.

Antiangiogenic drugs may cause vascular normalization and correct hypoxia in tumors, shifting cells to mitochondrial respiration as the primary source of energy. In turn, the addition of an inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration to antiangiogenic therapy holds potential to induce synthetic lethality. This study evaluated the mitochondrial inhibitor ME-344 in combination with bevacizumab in patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify variables at the time of clinical presentation which place patients at higher risk for mortality following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for symptomatic lesions. Further, this study will create a risk score for mortality within two years following CEA for symptomatic stenosis to help tailor future postoperative and long-term management by identifying patients who require heightened vigilance in postoperative care to facilitate survival.

Methods: The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) CEA module was queried for procedures performed for symptomatic (within 180 days) carotid bifurcation stenosis.
